A Lesson From Oliver - 5,261 words
... had little wish to draw him into this
conversation. I decided to change the subject
quickly. "Coincidentally, yes sir. Why I'm
calling, though, is to inquire about the number of
outboard motors that have gone missing since last
week." "Pardon me?" The tone of his voice took a
sudden sinister turn that sent a twinge through my
bladder. Like the rookie I was, I had made some as
yet unrecognized blunder. I felt the strong urge
to conclude the interview immediately, but it was
too late. He knew my name. He knew my brother's
name. He knew why I'd called. He knew everything.
I'd have to bluff past my own ignorance. "Well, I
was wondering if the police suspected some kind of

I Can Fly A Kite - 530 words
I Can Fly A Kite I can fly a kite, make a great
roast beef sandwich, read an entire Patricia
Cornwell paperback book in less than a day and
change a diaper without flinching. These
characteristics combined are what separate me from
the hundreds of other students that apply to
Lynchburg College, that and the fact that I am

Lynchburg College is a very unusual move for me to

"I know, I know, I was just kidding," Lindberg
lied. "Give me a call at five to, and I'll punch
you up for the noon report." "No, no, I mean now.
Punch me up now," some part of me, that was
ignoring the part of me that couldn't believe I
was planning to go through with this, insisted.
"Now?" Lindberg blurted with a start. "Now? But
it's only 11:10!" "I know, Linus, but there's a
major news story happening right this minute that
might be over by noon." The meek calmness with
which I detailed the obvious to him surprised me.

Journalism/Media/Television 27 Influential Years
of 60 Minutes 27 Years of Influential 60 Minutes
Since 1968 America has been better enlightened
than previously concerning current events and
happenings around the world. A considerable factor
for this occurrence is the television program 60
Minutes which debuted on the air in September of
1968. Many other television newsmagazines have
been produced since its creation, however none
have possessed the longevity nor the influence of
60 Minutes. In fact, 60 Minutes, which is owned by
CBS News, was the first regular network news
program to cover actual stories as opposed to
topics. Today, similar newsmagazines can be se ...
